TAA & AN 89er pilots' picnic 24th August 12 noon Anglers Tavern Essendon
 

Monday 24th August, 12 noon Anglers Tavern Essendon ,
~ Anglers Tavern, Maribyrnong, Melbourne ~ Review and Details

We're turning up, cold beer, juicy steak and chips and hope to see you there for a 'day to remember' ! Next day the TAA 89ers meeting for a little formal lunch at Percy's., there goes the head cells :ugh:

What a great idea.

Would be even better if TAA was still in existence and the Brisbane SRC could encourage his pilots to see how life really was in the Southern Capital by signing off on some Supernumery Travel Authorities.

Long live the memory.

Surprised not to see a few more threads organising reunions.

In the absence of any AN threads, do you good BlueTail folk object to the odd AN chap turning up at the Anglers'.

about 89 reasons, maybe :eek:

??
I was presuming that the original post related to those TN pilots who chose not to continue flying for the airline post 89 ? Likewise the AN reference.

If the subject related to another group of pilots, perhaps you might forgive my intrusion ?

Also at New Farm BNE in Oct, AN welcome especially if flew Balus in NG.

AN 89ers most welcome indeed.
 

The AN 89ers are most welcome to join us TAA 89ers at the Anglers, be great to all catch up and find out where on earth we all ended up for the last 20 years, sent across the four corners of the atmosphere.

Look forward to seeing you.

And how is the Moose travelling these days? Anyone have contact with him?

Brissy 's having theirs on Sunday 16th

I've had a ball. Got me away from home, out living with other people and cultures, flying great aircraft and doing things I'd never have dreamed of. Otherwise I'd still be flying a 737 from MEL to SYD every day. It gave me such brilliant life experiences when I probably wouldn't have had the guts to get out of my safety zone.

What better reason for a celebration?

Q.E.D! :ok:

Indeed :hmm:

Well, it improved my french! Mind you, I used to miss a lazy sat arvo fly, picking up the footy scores as we went, and then home for a barbie!

At this picnic there is to be no discussions about aircraft, sex, religion or politics.

Dear Moose
would you accept a son of Capt John Humphreys at this do ?

cheers
dijon moutard :ok:

In all my years in TAA Stationair, they were the most frequent of discussions, along with the three S,s, Sex, salary and seniority, and of course the most important discussion of all, who you barracked for in the AFL. Us north of the border lads didn't stand a chance and were considered odd, in fact were called Bu&sniffers, due to our codes habit of forming scrums. Still, would do it all again tomorrow!

As I recall, you had to follow Essendon to sit with the "elite" in TAA! :E

John Hickey was president of Collingwood !!!.

For interested newbies on proone ......... see 'TAA and the DC9' thread in 'Aviation History & Nostalgia' forum.

That must have been early days.

I thought that Morey,Wiltshire and Searle were all die hard Bomber men?:confused:
